Some friends and I. Midnight. April 14, 2016
Ok, so I’ve never been an advocate of this tactic until the last few minutes before exams. I believe it’s that time when you share the basic premises of the topic with each other. But this could be a great tactic for studying throughout the semester or especially at crunch time.
Let us take a look at a few of the pros and cons of this type of study:
PROS:
- It will keep you motivated: We all get our low moments, those times when we just can’t be bothered with this ‘school life’ but having a group creates a feeling of obligation to each other so you keep going even if it is just for the sake of everyone else.
- It’s an opportunity to build a great network: these people will be your friends for years to come. You may all end up in 10 different places in the world but that relationship will always be there.
CONS:
- Can be distracting: A number of non topical discussions may arise and trust me may take hours to end.
- You might end up getting more hours awake but less hours actually studying
